fluorocrash

A sensation of vivid, sudden, and possibly catastrophic alienation from the mundane world; the temporary inability to associate with sober and reserved people after a hedonistic or mind-expanding experience.

It was five in the morning. Terry still saw sparkles from the glitter, and that was fine, but she saw it when she closed her eyes, too. She had an hour to clean up, remember where her boyfriend put the key to the cuffs, and drink enough coffee to make herself stop seeing rainbow trails when she moved her fingers. She had to remember not to tell her boss she loved her, no matter how good an idea it seemed at the time. She was fluorocrashing, hard.
